Like everyone else, I’m wondering if my grandmother, Edith Smith, was on one of the surviving episodes. I would love to surprise my dad with a copy. Any help would be appreciated.

My mother, Mary Kathryn Campbell, became “Vacation Queen” in May 1948, when Jack Bailey’s show was a radio program. She won with a 25-words-or-less answer to why she would like to be Vacation Queen. I have the original letters, photos and news articles. She was interviewed nation-wide as she traveled in a trailer caravan across the country. She passed away in 1952 when I was almost three. I’d naturally be delighted (and astonished) to locate any old recordings of those interviews.

Anyone who owns the DVD happen to know if there is a contestant named Francis Snell on the surviving 7 episodes? It was my grandmother and I would love to have this tape for my dad and our family.

Deb, I know you said you had the DVD… I hate to ask it – and I know that there’s little chance, given the sheer number of people on here looking for their mothers/grandmothers, but my grandma was Eva Crossman. She won the show sometime in the late 50s or early 60s… If she’s on the DVD, I’d love to buy it or get a copy somehow!

My great-grandmother, Dorthey Lea Yates, won Queen for a Day, in 1959. She was a deaf-mute. She went on the show with her oldest daughter. My grandmother tells stories of all the prizes her mom won. They were a poor family of seven, and the show gave them tons of things for Christmas. I would love to find this tape for my grandmother who is ill. It would make her very happy to see her mother again.
